Awesome review Mick

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi Marilyn...Thanks for watching and commenting... A basic but decent first meal, Just hope the rest of the ration is as good?...ATB...Mick

[@scottleidenberger4401]

Looking forward to the rest of the review. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year !

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi Scott...Thanks for watching and commenting....Not a bad meal this one. Not very well balanced but plenty of sugar and carb based energy to keep you going.. Many thanks for the best wishes and hope you and yours also have a great Christmas and Happy new year ! ....ATB....Mick

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

Thanks Mich, I'll be waiting for part 2#. My only gripe is, one coffee and that's it? Oh well. Besides that, I want to wish you and yours, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! ❄️❄️❄️🎄❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi Kevin...Thanks for watching and commenting...Agreed about the coffee, but to make it worse, they don't include an FRH to warm the only coffee either?...I guess after drinking the only cold drink in the pack, its water for the rest of the 24 hours?....also Wishing you and yours a very happy Christmas and new year....ATB...Mick

Never seen an empty first strike wrapper before. I have had a menu where 2 items were doubled up though. Nice video.

[@thisandthatwithmatt]

Great video! I can’t believe that they didn’t pack that First Strike bar. I do like the FSRs for what they are for. Not the greatest quality however it serves the purpose. Thanks for sharing

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting... I hope the other components are as good?. I usually find the sweet, shelf stable breads OK but struggle with the savoury ones which can be tart and lacking any real filling..... fingers crossed 🤞....ATB....Mick

[@packersmresandvintage]

Hey matey cool review shame about the empty first strike bar tho

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting....First time I've ever had that happen?. Two trash / spares bags and an empty packet seems like I caught someone's off day in the packing factory...lol...Overall a basic but energy rich first meal. I would have liked more cold drinks for a 24h period, seeing as there was no FRH for the coffee, but not a bad meal...ATB...Mick

[@bigtrajik1]

Wow someone really f'd up on the quality control

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting....Agreed!.... Nobody was watching the packing that day!. I find it hard to believe the packer could not tell the first strike wrapper was empty?...Unless they felt a little hungry and helped themselves to it while working? ..... ATB....Mick

G'day Mick. Forgive us Yanks! These are better than some, Michael. Age may have played role in the taste, sir? Empty?? LOL? New one on me as well sir. Dairy shake powders, been leery of since 2006-2012 recall. I think all are safe now. Italian bread sticks give me heartburn, LOL. I am A Yank, just not bulletproof, I admit. I think you got cheated, somewhat Michael?? There should be more? That does not seem to be normal packaging, as to what I am used to, agreed sir? Those gums, will give you One heck of A headache. Been there. Our meals, do not compare, with ORP'S. Ours are base minimum sir. Perhaps, you enjoyed some components. Peace, John. Miss you Brother.

Hi John...Thanks for watching and commenting....Must admit 24 hours of snacks and nibbles would still have me craving a full meal, but better than nothing! The lack of cold drinks is my biggest concern with this one. Only 1 orange drinks powder seems a bit tight. I remember when I was serving (only just now as an old man!..lol) the drinks powders helped mask the taste of the sourced and purified water (filtered and tableted you could still taste the mud or pond sometimes!). Apart from the missing first strike bar, I'm not sure what else (if anything) is missing? but it does seem a little light.....Take care of you and yours my friend...ATB...Mick

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Snack time heaven!

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi Mark...Thanks for watching and commenting.....Sugar rich snacks by the bucket full, not a lot of nutrition but no chance of running out of steam!...ATB...Mick

[@ytMFOS]

Looks like you got one bag of empty promises with the package.

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting...lol...Yes, a lot of empty bags in this one?.....Perhaps the US defence budget is a little tight right now...LOL....ATB...Mick

[@njmaxton4530]

No bar! Heartbreak. I’d speak to RQ about that. Mention it when he tucks you up in bed tonight. Mind you, with all that caffeine gum you won’t be going to bed for days.

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting.....Not sure who RQ is?... or why he might tuck me up in bed??????.... You might have to elaborate for me...lol.....as for the Caffeine gum, your right...No sleep after eating a couple of those...ATB....Mick
